Beck: A group of you were friends in person first, right, and then you met Jordan through video games?
Trent Werwath: Tim, Jon, myself, and Peter have all been friends since childhood. We grew up together in the Virginia Beach area. I moved out to Oregon for college. And I met Jordan in person out there.
Peter Phillips: There's a game called Destiny, which some of us still play, [and] some of us do not. That's how me, Tim, and Jon got to know Jordan.

Video-Game Stats Mean Nothing To Dak Prescott
ARLINGTON, Texas – Through four games, Dak Prescott isn't just having a career season. He's on pace to shatter single-season NFL and Cowboys passing records.
* * *
"I care about one stat, and that's to win," Prescott said after Sunday's 49-38 loss to the Cleveland Browns at AT&T Stadium. "When we don't do that, no other stats matter."
The Cowboys are 1-3 through the first quarter of the 2020 season. Hardly the start that a team with Super Bowl aspirations expects.
First PS5 hands-on videos show off hardware and games, but no UI - The Verge
Sony has invited a number of Japanese publications and YouTubers to get a closer look at the PlayStation 5. It's the first time we've seen the PS5 hardware outside of leaked images from Taiwan's National Communications Commission. A variety of publications have now published detailed hands-on images and videos of the PS5, providing a more realistic look at how big the console is and gameplay of titles like Astro's Playroom and Godfall .
4gamer has published photos of the PS5 standing both vertically and horizontally, demonstrating how the stand works in either position to hold the console in place. Some photos also show how the PS5 will cool itself, and 4gamer notes that it wasn't able to hear the fan inside the console or feel much heat exhausting from it during its limited time with the hardware.
How to Make a Video Game: The Best Game Development Software for 2020 | PCMag
Even the most demanding creative fields can have low barriers to entry. For instance, you don’t need to know how to use photo editing or video editing software to take a picture or shoot a movie on your phone. Humanity wrote brilliant literature with paper, ink, and feathers for hundreds of years before word processors. But what about video games, the most modern artistic medium?
Today, you have more options than ever for pursuing a career in game development and more ways of sharpening your skills beyond modding new Doom level WAD files. Every year, new generations of developers graduate from game design schools all over the world. Shout out to DePaul, DigiPen, Full Sail, and NYU Game Center. But with just a computer and some self-motivation, you can teach yourself to make the game of your dreams with consumer video game development software.

The Secret History of Video Game Music's Female Pioneers | WIRED
Anyone who appreciates video games realizes the incredible amount of artistry that goes into composing the music for such games—even the 8-bit sound effects of the earliest consoles in the '80s and '90s. These musical elements helped lay the foundation for the more dramatic, sweeping soundtracks that we associate with popular video games today.
What you might not know is that many of the earliest video game composers were women , despite the male dominance of the industry as a whole. Often hired straight out of college, these artists were set to work laying down tracks for hits like Castlevania , Mega Man , and Bionic Commando . Yet they rarely, if ever, received credit. Pseudonyms or nicknames were commonly used in the industry, and historians or archivists may have written off early video game music as frivolous.
How large is the global video game industry? - CGTN
From Fortnite to Call of Duty , video games have grown to become cultural juggernaut, making up the largest sector in the entertainment industry.
Globally, there are around 2.5 billion players, with China making up 25 percent of gamers. And now, games are individually making the same amount of money as Hollywood blockbusters.
Last year Fortnite made $1.8 billion. And Modern Warfare, the latest in the Call of Duty franchise, made about the same as the highest grossing movie of all time, Avengers: Endgame .
Forecast: Video game subs revenue at $11bn by 2025 |
A report from Juniper Research forecasts that video games service platforms, such as EA Play and PlayStation Now, will grow to an $11 billion (€9.3bn) sector by 2025, up from an estimated $6.6 billion this year. These platforms represent a strong new revenue stream for an industry experiencing a revenue decline of around 3 per cent per year over the next five years.
Meanwhile, cloud gaming is not being held back by demand for the services, which already have millions of users, but by a lack of awareness in many places. Slow data speeds also limit its reach in many markets, as data is needed for playability. This will limit the technology's adoption to around 1 per cent of active gamers globally.
Press A, Be Gay: LGBTQ Representation in Video Games – QNotes
Amidst all the intrigue, there's a pleasant catch: Dorian will only kiss a man. He'll only be with a man. He'll only marry a man.
* * *
In addition to being the rare gay man in a mainstream video game, Dorian is also one of the even rarer gay men of color. Designer John Epler said , when asked about his nationality, that "Indian would be the closest real world analogue."
In the 70-year history of video games, from "Pong" to "Super Mario Bros" to the sweeping, hundred-million dollar epics we see today, it took over 60 for a gay person of color to show up as a major character in a mainstream release. But unlike the worries of past decades — that LGBTQ content would repel heterosexual consumers — Dorian's inclusion didn't sway people from partaking in the quest.
